Saved Eatiiea Take Prises.. MARPHFIEI.D. Or., Jan. 2. (Spe cial.) The success of H. C. Hampton in raising stock is a matter of impor tance In this farming community. His method of feeding and marketing Is likely to work an entire cliang. In range and valley territories. Mr. Hampton is Isolated on a place not convenient to handle rattle for dairy ing. His ranch is hidden away In th. northeastern section of Curry County, 30 mil os from a cheese factory or creamery. His whole attention is given to production of beef. In three years, Mr. Hampton has built up a Hereford grade that Is con sidered arnnng the bct on the Coast. He began with a registered bull and a number of grade heifers. Today tlier. Is not an snimal on Mis ran-h of 1000 acres that is not plainly a Hpreford. Mr. Hampton has adopted an unusual scheme of feeding. He turns his rattle out while young and thus saves on. or two years of forced feeding to hav. the animals in marketable condition. On th. ranch Is a 120-ton corn silo, which he fills at a cost of less than St cents a ton for labor. This silac. he feeds to his Spring calves th. fol lowing Winter and In the Spring they are marketed. At present he Is feed ing 37 such beeves and 10 cows, which will be turned at th. sam. time. Th. calves have the advantage In Rumrow of running with their mothers and with th. rangs feed they thrive wonderfully, soma of them weighing before being put into the feed yard as high as 80o pounds. As an example of th. class of stork Mr.' Hampton Is raising, his .bowing at the Coos and Curry Counties Kair at Myrtle Point this year is noteworthy. Ha had four entries and obtained three firsts and on. second prls. with his entries. COOS BAY T0SEEK JETTY Delegates Chosen to Go to Washing ton to Make KequeM. MARSHFIEI.D, Or., Jan. 2. (.spe cial.)
